KODAK THERMAL PLATINUM Digital Plates represent the next generation in robust, industrial-grade plate technology. The plate’s core technology has won numerous industry accolades for performance, durability and stability. Continual improvements in productivity and performance raise the bar even further, making THERMAL PLATINUM Plates the premier choice for high-quality, long run lengths and aggressive printing conditions.

Extremely long run lengths save time and money by reducing the number of plates and make-readies required per job
Improved productivity and uptime through imaging and processing speed improvements and longer chemical cycles that reduce processor maintenance
Cost savings and environmental benefits through improved processing chemistry utilization
Potential elimination of posbaking saves time, floor space, capital costs, maintenance, and energy costs
Improved imaging consistency and dot reproduction through the use of a highly sensitive write-to-image coating technology
Offers production efficiencies through improved imaging latitude, faster processing speeds, and improved durability
